D
Down by the banks of the Colorado
Bm
My true love and I, one night did lie.
D
And we laughed and played and made fun
Bm
of the entire world spinnin' round the sun
D
down by the banks of the Colorado.
Up from the banks of the Colorado,
night watchmen stood guard, round the wagon yard
and I took a pillar as a sign
that the salt of the earth would soon be mine
up from the banks of the Colorado.
chorus:
G D
There is another Colorado
G D
wise men have told me, wise women, too.
G D
that I have found sweet Eldorado
A D
down by the banks of one sweet Colorado.
Down by the banks of Colorado
the years flowed softly before my eyes.
And a circus joined me in my quest
and stood with me throughout my test
down by the banks of the Colorado
chorus, solo and out
